Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 2, 2011, AAR CORP. (AAR), through its wholly owned subsidiary, AAR International, Inc. (Buyer), completed its previously announced acquisition (the Acquisition) from Teleflex Incorporated (Seller) of Sellers business units that design, engineer and manufacture on-board baggage and cargo-handling systems for wide-body, narrow-body and regional aircraft and air cargo containers and pallets (collectively, the Business).
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated October 20, 2011 (the Purchase Agreement) by and among Seller, Buyer and AAR, the Business was acquired for the aggregate purchase price of $280 million (along with the assumption by Buyer of certain liabilities related to the Business), subject to possible upward or downward adjustment following closing based on certain provisions in the Purchase Agreement relating to the working capital and indebtedness of the Business measured as of the open of business on the closing date.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the Purchase Agreement was included as Exhibit 2.1 to AARs Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2011, and is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
The Purchase Agreement has been incorporated herein to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about AAR, Buyer or Seller. The representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are made to, and solely for the benefit of, the parties to the Purchase Agreement. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter that Seller provided in connection with signing the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement are made for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and are modified in important respects by the confidential disclosure letter.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 2, 2011, AAR issued a press release announcing that it had completed its previously announced acquisition of the Business. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
